Job Description:

Broadcom is looking for a lead STA/ Synthesis engineer. In this role, you will be contributing to constraint development, constraint validation, synthesis, audits (CDC, RDC, Static Equivalence, Low Power) and timing closure of mission critical IP and ASIC blocks in advanced technology nodes

Responsibilities Include:

• Develop and validate timing constraints for intricate SoC designs.
• Perform static timing analysis (STA) using industry-standard tools (e.g., PrimeTime, Tempus)
• Perform synthesis and run static audits (CDC, RDC, Low Power, equivalence) for high speed, complex digital and mixed signal blocks
• Define and implement timing signoff methodologies, including process corners, derates, and uncertainties.
• Conduct pre-route timing checks and quality of results (QoR) analysis.
• Automate timing analysis processes using scripting languages such as Tcl or Perl.
• Provide guidance on clock tree synthesis and optimization for energy-efficient designs.
• Ensure compliance with timing signoff checklists and criteria.
• Generate timing ECO's for timing closure
• Drive timing closure for complex IP and ASIC blocks

Qualifications:

• Experience with high-complexity silicon in advanced technology nodes.
• Familiarity with timing constraint development for hierarchical designs.
• Knowledge of clock tree planning and implementation for SoCs.
• Experience with timing ECO creation and final timing signoff.
• Proficiency in using STA tools (e.g., PrimeTime, TCM, Tempus) and scripting languages (e.g., Tcl, Perl).
• Proficiency in using synthesis and audit tools (DC-T, Genus, Fishtail, VCLP, Formality)
• Strong understanding of ASIC design flows, including RTL and place-and-route.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Effective communication and teamwork abilities.
• Ability to work independently in a fast paced, cross geographical environment.
• Direct or indirect experience with RTL/ Design is a plus
• At a minimum Bachelors and 12+ years of related experience or Masters degree and 10+ years of related experience or PhD and 7+ years of related experience. At this level post-graduate coursework is highly desirable
